Best Museum in Italia

S	Sander Saares on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fairly forgettable paintings and furniture. On the plus side, the rooms actually have accessories and "things" that make them feel a little closer to life than other "clinical" museums.
A	André Lencastre on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It houses a more modest collection and exhibits less than the other San Stae counterparts but it's still worth a visit because the perfume museum is so curious.
M	Mandy Hon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Extremely rude staff in ticket office. Can’t speak English well and when we could not understand her, she got impatient and scolded us in front of other visitors. It was one of my worst experience in the whole of Italy. Totally ruined my journey in Venice. The museum is a tourist trap. It has nothing much to offer and totally not worth the money. The modern art/ photography doesn’t compliment the history and culture of Venice at all.
p	paolopolimi paolini on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The "palazzo mocenigo" is beautiful and it deserves the visit on its own. It really conveys the feeling of what was life for Venitian patricians. The museum of perfurmes is interesting (but very incomplete) for a Venitian perspective on the subject. They do an excellent job at hosting temporary exhibitions interspersed with the permanent collection.
N	Natalie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's advertised as a textile/costume/perfume museum, but there are only a few garments on display. The most interesting was a room with 50 or so waistcoats - if you find 50 nearly identical waistcoats interesting. There is also a room with a handful of perfume elements, but I think everyone already knows what lavender and sandalwood and patchouli smell like. While the rooms are beautiful and ornate, there is only a brief explanation card for each room, so if you're curious about specific items you won't find the information. It seemed like the info cards emphasized how rare and special everything was, without further explanation. For example, there was a display of antique perfuming (?) equipment, but the only information was that it's a rare, extensive, private collection. Nothing about the equipment itself. I would say this is less of a museum and more of a preserved home with a few displays. It was much, much smaller than the size of the building suggests. I would recommend skipping this one unless you have a museum pass.
S	Simeon Tolar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After all the bad reviews I almost didn't stop by, but had the museum pass and was in the area anyway. The palace is very nicely kept up and I enjoyed much of the art work better than Ca'Rezzonico though it lacked the grand ball room it had many nice frescoes as well. The dress selection was modest but suitable with several of the more ornate pieces in display in the main hall where guests could really get a good look at them up close. The waist coats were also well displayed with a great variety to be seen as well as several tail coats. The perfumery was not particularly to my tsste but was well displayed with a nice collection of various styles of perfume bottles. There was also an informative video on the subject that played in Italian and English. As mentioned in other posts the information on the cards is a bit sparse but is enough for an elementary grasp. If you have a city museum pass, drop by and enjoy the lovely palace and displays. If not O would only suggest paying full entry if you have a specific interest in perfume or period dress.
G	G P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful museum that is housed in an incredible palace. Not only are there perfumes to smell and costumes to see, you can admire the historic, and original, wall and ceiling coverings as well as the centuries old paintings. The Merchant of Venice exhibition was interesting and entertaining also. Well worth the €10 entry.
